Abstract

Azolla pinnata has been used for centuries in Southeast Asia as a fertilizer in rice production. A new perspective of the plant as a veterinary nutrition was taken into consideration. Azolla pinnata is a small fern with a triangular frond measuring up to 2.5 centimeters in length which floats on the water. The plant Azolla pinnata was collected from rural area of the Nashik. It was dried under a shade for 2-3 days. The size reduction was carried out. Further nutritions were added to the dried powder of Azolla pinnata. By using wet granulation method granules were prepared. The prepared granules were feed to animals like, Cow, Goat, Hen and fishes. The result was observed an increase in production of milk in Cow and goat whereas weight in Hen and fishes.

Introduction

CONCLUSION:

It concludes that feeding prepared of A pinnata granules for cow, hen, fish, goat shows increasing production of milk in cow, goat, weight of hen & fish & it indicates that nutrition content in cow, hen, fish & goat.
